This week's show features BETTER WAYS: better ways to paint, and to help those in need.

BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER: ​

This week Alana Light discusses the top 10 tips for making your own house a HOME. These might surprise you!

PRO CORNER:

The least expensive way to refresh a room is with paint. Meet Sam Samaniego, 35 year veteran of Dunn Edwards Paints. He'll share how to choose the right paint, prepare the surface & achieve a great result. For more info on Dunn Edwards paints click here. For the Santa Fe store click here. You'll hear why D.E. is the painting contractors' paint of choice in the Southwest.

What happens when a city does not punish, but helps those in need? After viewing a video on "There is a Better Way" (above) Alana had to invite the director onto the program, Kellie Tillerson, of St. Martin's. UPDATE: St. Martin's is now St. Martin's Hope Works.
